Benefits of technology

The present patent text discusses the use of browser-based applications and user interface displays in the field of computers. The technical effects of this patent include the ability to develop apps that can run inside a browser and break the model of apps having to be native code and distributed through an app store or manually installed on a device. The use of HTML5 in browser-based apps provides an incentive for developers to move away from native apps and selling them on a platform. The patent also describes the use of native apps on mobile devices, which are typically downloaded and installed through an app store or directly from a mobile device. The user interface of the mobile device includes a home screen with icons that link to native apps, which are executed using instructions and capabilities of an operating system. The native app is downloaded to the mobile device and executed using the processing system of the device. The patent also discusses the distribution of native apps through an app store or directly from a mobile device.

Problems solved by technology

In the case of mobile phones, the interface may not be usable due to screen size or screen resolution, so the browser may limit the number of screen splits.

[0059 may include, or may optionally be combined with the subject matter of one or any combination of Examples 1-9 to include a method, comprising: displaying, in a full screen mode of a screen display, a web app within a browser user interface; detecting one or more user commands applied within the browser user interface during the full screen mode to subdivide the screen display and launch a second app; and partitioning the screen display into multiple subdivided areas responsive to detecting the user commands, including:

[0060]resizing a display of the web app to one of the subdivided areas; and allocating the second app to display in a different one of the subdivided areas; wherein the second app is concurrently executed and presented with the web app.

[0061]In Example 11, the subject matter of Example 10 may optionally include user commands that include one or more hand gestures applied to a touch screen, the touch screen configured to provide the screen display.

Abstract

There is disclosed a system, including apparatus, methods and computer programs, for running native software applications (apps) and HTML5 web-based apps on a computing device, particularly a mobile computing device, in a multitasking mode of operation. In one embodiment, touch screen displays having one or more browsers are adapted to run one or more HTML5 apps, and receive input from hand gestures. One or more software modules execute on the operating system and are responsive to a dragging gesture applied to an HTML5 app displayed in a full screen mode, to subdivide the screen display and display the HTML5 app in one of the subdivided areas and display icons used to launch a second HTML5 app in a different one of the subdivided areas. The second HTML5 app is run concurrently with the first HTML5 app in order to provide multi-tasking between the first and second apps.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present subject matter relates generally to the field of computers, and more particularly to browser-based applications and user interface displays.BACKGROUND[0002]HTML5 is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web. It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard and as of November 2011 is still under development. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML 4, but XHTML1 and DOM2 HTML (particularly JavaScript / EMCAScript) specifications as well. Many features of HTML5 are provided to enable its use on low-powered devices such as smart phones and tablets. HTML5 supports a variety of techniques to enable dynamic content presentations, including multimedia display elements (such as video, audio, and graphical animation), app...
